    NORTHERN AVENUE DEVELOPMENT MISTAKES ARE CONDITIONED BY NECESSITY TO MAKE INVESTMENTS IN A SHORT TIME, UAA CHAIRMAN SAYS

    YEREVAN, MAY 11, NOYAN TAPAN. The mistakes related to high density
    and the large number of storeys in development of Northern Avenue
    in Yerevan are the result of the haste, which was conditioned by
    the necessity to make investments in a short time. Chairman of the
    Union of Architects of Armenia (UAA) Mkrtich Minasian expressed this
    opinion during the May 11 discussion with the participation of the
    Chief Architect of Yerevan Samvel Danielian and the Director of
    the Yerevanproject Institute Gurgen Musheghian. In the words of
    M. Minasian, Northeren Avenue would have been better developed,
    if the existing problems had been discussed in a more detailed
    way. G. Musheghian noted that Northern Avenue and other zones currently
    being developed in the center of Yerevan will be transformed from a
    residential and business area into a business district, which is due
    to the process of the city's natural development.

    According to S. Danielian, the issue of land allocation in the green
    zones of Yerevan has also been dealt with in a hurry. In his opinion,
    if large land plots in these zones had been leased, the number of cafes
    would have been smaller. M. Minasian said that many owners of cafes
    near the Opera and Ring-Shaped Park have realized that these green
    zones are overloaded, and they intend to reduce the development work
    in these parts of the city. The chief architect noted that unfounded
    land allocations are the cause of irregular development in Hrazdan
    Gorge - the only recreational zone of the city. However, according
    to UAA Chairman, the situation is improving: there have been some
    successful architectural solutions, while the city authorities are
    now implementing restoration work, particularly, the river-bed is
    being cleaned.
